A Couple of Discoveries

While archaeology does go slow and it can take time to get new information. However, discoveries are made all the time and here are two more. #1. 8,000-year-old encampment — with tridents and war paint materials — found in England While excavating a floodplain in England, archaeologists stumbled upon an ancient site where hunter-gatherers once

The Bible & Modern Archaeology

We came across this article the other day, An Archaeological Dig Reignites the Debate Over the Old Testament’s Historical Accuracy, and it is a prime example of how modern archaeologists use strawman arguments or other logical fallacies to claim the Bible is wrong. We have searched for clues in the Bible but one passage of

Hoax or Not- You be the Judge

We came across this topic when we looked at the forums at an archaeology discussion forum we used to participate in. You can get to that forum through this link. The link to the video did not work for us but it may work for you. Click here to try or use the one in

If You Do Not Have Verifiable Evidence

Then do not say anything or make any claims. This is a topic that undermines the credibility of both anthropology and archaeology. Anthropologists and archaeologists, among other scientists, continue to make extraordinary claims without verifiable evidence to back those claims up. Before we get to the article in question we need to make a distinction

An Interesting Discovery

Not all interesting discoveries come from 2000 years ago and later than that. Nor do they always happen in some faraway land like Israel, or Egypt, and so on. Sometimes the discoveries only date back a hundred years or so and can happen in your own backyard. This is what happened at Michigan State University

Jerusalem’s Destruction Supported

One of the drawbacks to archaeology is that very little happens in real-time. It can take years to hear about discoveries made by archaeologists that support the Bible or other ancient events. Sometimes, the archaeologists’ final report is made decades after the archaeologist has finished excavating a site. This was the case with the Meyers

A Video & a Story

While we are still recuperating we have not forgotten our readers. We are doing better and eating more so that is a good sign. To help pass the time here is an interesting story and a unique video #1. From the Sphinx to the Terracotta Army, photos show 10 historical sites when they were discovered

You Know This Article…

… will get our dander up. Deadly Stick Recovered from Germany Dates to 300,000 Years Ago Some 300,000 years ago, an early hunter dropped a 30-inch stick in wet mud, and there it stayed through the Last Ice Age, two world wars and the dawning of the internet. The literal stick-in-the-mud remained in excellent condition,

Archaeological Controversies

It seems that this research field is not without its issues. This is due partially, or even a majority of the time, to differing opinions on different discoveries. However, it is not always different opinions that create these controversies but the decisions some archaeologists make. For example, the upcoming link has one example of this

A Bad Philosophy

This has to do with archaeological thinking and how archaeologists conduct their excavations. It is a pet peeve for us and we may have written about this previously, yet it deserves another post. The article that ‘triggered’ opur pet peeve is: Why Do Archaeologists Rebury Their Excavations? The practice helps preserve the site for future
